Is that a lake boating phenomenon? The reason I ask is that I have not seen/heard any boat with a loud sound around where we plan to boat.

Here in Portland Oregon we mostly boat on Rivers (Willamette and Columbia) with miles of open river ahead. It's probably more common with boats that reach higher speeds, then those that are small lake cruisers.

Yeah, I don't really think it's isolated to anything in particular. There are definitely DB level laws and complainers on some lakes though. I do think that boat types attract each other too. Put a loud go-fast boat on water where you boat and the go-fasts will start to multiply. I've seen it happen with wake boats too and know of it happening with cruisers. I think the different types are one of the fun dynamics of boating, much like street motorcycles.
We are able to anchor just off the shore (some beach) of the camp loop where we spend most of the Summer. So, it's nice to be to be able to be courteous to camp neighbors when coming and going but also really nice to let her breathe when out running the open water. Man, I wish I would have boated last weekend!

some say that you get an extra 200-300 rpms on top end with the open exhaust. if so, then that means more speed

unfortunately i cant remember the name but i found a web sight on google that makes the whole kit less the tailpipes for around $600. I have the corsa on my z272 but i dont have the solinoids or relays. they were just left open and i dont know why. you are right the parts are expensive. if the elbow was leaking, what did do beside block off the tailpipes?

[csterner]

They literally took the diverters and cut the straight section off that went to the thru hull and welded a cap on the end. They removed the solenoids and then capped off the thru hull tips with a rubber cap and hose clamp. Very sad...very sad...So basically I need new diverters with the solenoids and relays. I took a picture so you could see what it looks like from the side view.

FYI , Moore Performance makes just the pipe section and also a few other units on sale on ebay #270715618888. the difference is these do not have the choice but the exhaust comes out of both and a very inexpensive way to get the sound back. If youre exhaust is under the platform it probably wont be that loud

Thanks Al but I would really want to get the switchable captain's call. We do some small river cruises through neighborhoods and would really like the option to silence her then. Plus sometimes Ya' just need to lay low!!!
